The Huaguo team won two consecutive maps of "Subway Station" and "Cross Street", and took the lead in grabbing the match point.
The extreme duel mode of the second game cannot be called a timeout, and Coach Zhang also thought a lot while taking advantage of the game. This year's Huaguo team has completely changed. The strength of the players and the tactical layout ability of the coach are impressive. Singapore wants to beat China unless they win three games in a row.
Let two chase three, which is difficult to do.
But the charm of e-sports competitions is like this, until the last moment, no one will give up hope.
Regardless of whether it is a win or a loss, the Singapore team should also play its own style. Coach Zhang took a deep breath, and when he came to the soundproof room, the expression on his face had recovered, he patted the captain on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Everyone put down the psychological pressure and play hard. Treat the next game as a practice. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just fight with them!"
The players clenched the mouse hard and took a deep breath to adjust their mentality.
They were really nervous when they were playing the game just now, and their reaction was always a fraction of a second slower than that of the Hua Guo team. The Huaguo team has the momentum of a new-born calf that is not afraid of tigers, but their Singapore team is timid. As veterans who have participated in two Asian Championships, why are they not as good as a group of newcomers? !
Coach Zhang said: "The third game is our home court. No matter how they play, we only play in our own way and get the rhythm back. The commander can be more confident. See who kills who, and play fast."
The captain gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I fought with them!"
The third game begins, the Singapore team chooses the mode at home: Endless Bloody Battle.
This was as early as Jiang Shaoyu's expectation. Singapore is a fast-paced team, and their tactical ideas are not rich enough in blasting mode and extreme mode.
When it was Jiang Shaoyu’s turn to ban the map, the “subway station” that he used in the endless mode before was automatically banned. For the rest of the maps, Jiang Shaoyu routinely banned the three maps that Singapore is good at: Fountain Square, Deep in the Jungle and Corridor.
Singapore submitted the competition map——Crystal Cave.
The moment this picture appeared, the two commentators in the live broadcast room couldn't help worrying and said, "This map is difficult for snipers to play, right?"
"Yes. There are obstacles formed by stalactites everywhere. There are too many places to hide, and it is difficult for snipers to aim. This map is actually more suitable for scouting and sneak attacks. Of course, a wave of melee violence can also be played. But for the players, the cooperation requirements are very high, and the positions of the five people cannot be messed up.”
"If you have two snipers, it's more difficult to fight in the crystal cave. Will Coach Jiang replace him?"
Jiang Shaoyu did not make any substitutions.
In the BO5 match, the coach had two opportunities to make substitutions, and Jiang Shaoyu had already used one. If Shi Xiaobin is replaced in this game, there is no guarantee of winning, and once the game is lost, the Huaguo team has used up the opportunity to make substitutions and cannot change again, and the fourth game will be difficult to play. It is not necessary to use the targeted substitution opportunity to bet on that little chance of winning.
All things considered, it is more appropriate to let the kid continue to stay on the field.
Jiang Shaoyu said in a low voice, "The map of Crystal Cave is not very friendly to us. When Hua Ran moves, pay attention to the position of your teammates. The others spread out and fight against them."
At the beginning of the game, the players of the Singapore team obviously went out of their way, and they played very proactively in this game.
The five of them quickly spread out in a straight line, heading towards the Huaguo team from different directions of the cave.
Suddenly, gunshots sounded from the front left.
Qin Xueyao was the first to spot the scout on the opposite side. She moved quickly, but was surrounded by three people in Singapore.
Xueyao fell under the violent strafing of bullets, and reported their location before dying: "At 9 o'clock, there are 3 people!"
Pei Feng said: "Hua Hua."
Hua Ran quickly ran over with the smoke bomb to interfere with the opponent's position, but in this round, the Singapore players learned from their experience and lessons, and they were not disturbed by Hua Ran. They rushed directly from the smoke and killed Huahua 3 on 1!
Fortunately, before Hua Ran died, a wave of shooting took away the opposite one, and it was not a loss for 1 for 1.
Pei Feng and Gui Siyang quickly flanked left and right. Pei Feng seized the opportunity to kill one of the opponents. In the end, the Singapore team won a small game with a quick 4-for-5 play.
In the second round, Qin Xueyao walked more cautiously, bypassed from the flank, and took the lead in reporting the position of the sniper on the opposite side.
Pei Feng lurked in the karst cave with his waist down, circled in a large circle, went behind the opponent, killed the opposite sniper with a headshot, followed closely with Qin Xueyao's scouting and Hua Ran's troubles, and fought back to regain the score.
The two sides fought fiercely in the narrow, dark cave, and the score went from 1:1 to 2:2, and the situation was in a stalemate.
The captain of Singapore gritted his teeth and said, "A wave to disperse them!"
The 5 players seemed to have tried their best to rush to the Huaguo team at the fastest speed, and directly used their life-for-life violence to shoot wildly. Next, in such a fierce and fast battle, Pei Feng simply didn't have time to issue an order, and a wave of team battles changed 4 to 5, and the scout of the Singapore team hid to the end.
——Winner!
Seeing the rare golden words on the screen, the five players of the Singapore team burst into tears.
It's not easy!
Played the last small game, and finally won a difficult 3:2.
In the past, it would not be so difficult for them to fight Huaguo at all. This time, it is really strange that the Huaguo team has become the most difficult bone?
In a soundproof room.
Seeing Jiang Shaoyu coming in, Pei Feng took the initiative and said, "My, my command, I made a mistake."
In the last wave, the five Singaporeans rushed forward like wild horses, and Pei Feng died before he could command his teammates.
Jiang Shaoyu did not blame him. Under Singapore's desperate style of play, Pei Feng remained calm and persisted until the fifth round, which was already very good. He took a step forward, patted his apprentice's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "If you win or lose a match, don't blame yourself."
Pei Feng smiled slightly, and he knew that the master would not criticize him for this.
Master is a very principled person. What he cares more about is the attitude and performance of the players. As long as you have a positive attitude and do your best during the competition, it doesn't matter if you lose. If you lose, you can sum up experience and continue to improve yourself.
On the map of Crystal Cave, it wasn't that the Huaguo team could not play, but the main force who played this map——Ye Qingming was not present.
If Ye Ye was there, it would be very easy to fight with Pei Feng.
Xueyao is still not very good at encounter maps with many obstacles, and she is better at large maps with complex terrain and openness.
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Okay, don't think about this game again. Let's prepare for the fourth game."
On the Singapore side, Coach Zhang's eyes lit up: "Everyone is doing well, we have regained 1 point and won the Crystal Cave! Next game, everyone will continue to work hard, and if we take another map, it will be 2:2, we still have a lot to do. Hopeful!"
The 5-minute break passed quickly, and the fourth game was the home court of the Huaguo team.
Jiang Shaoyu submitted the mode: life and death blasting.
When Coach Zhang saw this, he felt bad in the bottom of his heart——he also replayed the game that Huaguo played against Japan. The explosive mode, two consecutive 6:1 small game points, the richness of tactical ideas is astounding!
Especially Qin Xueyao's stealing home is impressive.
Coach Zhang immediately banned the large picture of "Antai Community", followed by the "Guanghua Middle School" that Ban had used when Huaguo hit Japan; the third ban he left to the "Fascination Town" with more complex terrain.
Map submitted by Jiang Shaoyu: Kunlun Bridge.
The blasting points of the Kunlun Bridge are on the bridge and below the bridge. This map is actually a relic of an overpass in the human world, with a structure similar to a three-dimensional maze. The birth points for both the police and the bandits are at both ends of the bridge. Players can walk on the road or climb up and down along various bridge piers.
At the beginning of the Huaguo team, the police were randomly picked up, and Pei Feng commanded: "The kid will guard, I will guard. Huahua will block the intersection, Xueyao pays attention to the people on the bridge pier, Brother Chen and Huahua."
The crowd immediately dispersed.
The 5 people ran fast on the overpass and reached their point in a blink of an eye.
Such scattered positions look like a mess of scattered sand, but in fact they can take care of each other and cooperate with each other.
The Singapore team randomly arrived at the bandit side, and they must seize the time to dispose of the bombs and wait for the explosives to explode.
5 people chose to hold a group and rush.
However, as soon as they stepped onto the overpass, a bullet was shot overhead——
bang!
Gui Siyang stood on the top bridge, with a dark gun barrel sticking out of the gap in the guardrail, and shot off the Singapore charger in seconds with a headshot!
The teammates behind realized that something was wrong and immediately avoided it. But then, the sound of gunshots sounded at the foot——
bang!
Pei Feng, who was at the bottom of the overpass, squinted his eyes, pointed his gun upward, shot against the light, and decisively shot the opposite assaulter in seconds!
The two snipers went up and down, forming an air fire protection net, and the Singapore team couldn't get through it at all.
Coach Zhang, who was sitting under the stage, looked extremely ugly.
When he pulled back a game just now, he thought to himself, we have hope!
But then, the Huaguo team poured cold water on him on the head——there is hope? That's just your illusion!
China's strongest blasting mode is yet to be launched!
Pei Feng's command in the blasting mode is very strong. Under his dispatch, the five members of the Huaguo team shuttled, climbed, and jumped around the complex overpass, and kept the two blasting points A and B tight.
Bandits in Singapore want to come and bury bombs?
There are no doors!
In the live broadcast room, the two commentators who were worried that the Huaguo team would overturn the car just looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The commentator Feifei said with a smile: "I found that our strongest seems to be the blasting mode?"
Commentary Xiaoxi Road: "In this map of Kunlun Bridge, the police in the regular lineup are actually very difficult to fight. The two blasting points on the upper and lower floors are difficult to defend at the same time. But today, the Huaguo team sent a lineup of double snipers to form a very tacit air fire blockade!"
"Yes, they took advantage of the characteristics of three-dimensional bridges. One up and down, they stuck the opponent's only path, and the opposite side couldn't get through at all."
Bridge battles, melee range is limited, but snipers have a very long range. Pei Feng and Gui Siyang stopped on the bridge. Unless the Singaporean sniper took them out in seconds, it would be difficult for others to reach the blasting point successfully under the firepower of the two.
In the first game, the bandits were destroyed.
In the second round, the bandits were destroyed...
The players of the Singapore team were fighting, almost doubting their lives.
They have also played the map of Kunlun Bridge before, but today, why has it suddenly become so difficult!
It's hard to walk!
In the first half, the Huaguo team's police and the Singapore team failed to break through the siege many times. In the second half, after the identities of the two sides were exchanged, the two snipers of the Huaguo team took cover from the air, Qin Xueyao pretended to steal the house, turned over and climbed down from the pier on the top floor. The Singapore players watched her climb down, of course they would not let her go, and hurriedly sent people to surround the scout!
However, what they didn't expect was that at the moment when they joined forces to kill Qin Xueyao, a prompt popped up on the screen——
The bomb has been placed.
Explode after 30 seconds countdown!
All Singapore players: "??"
who did it!
The audience from God's perspective is very clear——this time, Hua Ran secretly planted a bomb on the top floor of the bridge.
Qin Xueyao climbed down, just to deceive the enemy's attention, Huaguo team's explosive pack was actually in Hua Ran's hands.
Again the sound of the east and the west.
Hua Ran changed his usual unrestrained style of play, and after Xueyao distracted the opponent, he successfully managed to steal home.
China team wins.
Watching the score popped up on the big screen, the domestic audience was extremely excited.
[Have you entered the finals?]
[Fuck, Huaguo really made it to the finals? In other words, is it guaranteed to get a runner-up?]
[Everyone is open, maybe we can win the championship?]
[This national team is really handsome!]
[I think the final against South Korea is a little off, and the runner-up is not bad. This is the first time the national team has won an award in an international event!]
[Can I actually see the Gun King National Team win an award in your lifetime? Am I dreaming?]
The two commentators were so excited that their voices trembled: "Congratulations to the Huaguo team for successfully entering the finals of the Asian Championships!"
"Today's BO5 knockout match, Huaguo won three maps of Metro Station Line 7, Cross Street and Kunlun Bridge, and Singapore won a map of Crystal Cave. We defeated Singapore 3:1 and made history!"
"Yes. No matter the outcome of the next game, there will be trophies to be won, to keep Asia and compete for the title!"
"We've never won a trophy at a world event!"
Listening to the choked voice of the commentator, many e-sports players and players who follow e-sports feel sad.
The past few years have been really uncomfortable. Team Huaguo has never won a trophy. They were ridiculed, despised, and insulted at the World Championships. Even if they were scolded as a rookie in person, they couldn't stand up and scold them back.
But now, the Huaguo team finally has a proud day.
Jiang Shaoyu fulfilled his promise to the league when he took over as the national team coach——
He will lead the team to win prizes in international competitions and break the curse of zero medals.
Win or lose in the final, at least the first international medal in the history of the Huaguo team has arrived!
